And speaking of sweet things, this kills.
No tour or shows or anything...2busy fooling around online.

the answer my friend is blowin'

Sitting here getting hypnotized by this curtain that's moving around in the wind.
And speaking of things that blow, is it just me or are screw-off tops becoming harder and harder to open? I caint hardly open nothing anymore.
Boy it bugs me when ppl clap on 1 and 3 instead of 2 and 4.

too tired to think of title

Just got in from a super-hella bike ride into the Headlands.
Since it's Sunday it was kind of traffic-y at times, but in general not too bad.
The Headlands r so huge, with such wide-open vistas, and the sky looks so big, u feel like a little tiny insect as u go zooming along.

only 13 and she knows how to nasty

Hello.  That's me above, wif me beautiful gorgeous stunning Uncle Lyle on the sand dunes of his neighborhood in western Michigan.
He was a model for coolness alright. He taught me how to do the Chicken, which was a little bit of a dirty dance (not that dumb one where u flap your arms and make squawking noises) so much so that demonstrating it at school one day almost got lil ACC kicked out.
And speaking of uncles, check this out: Cry Uncle.
No tour or shows or anything..2busy looking for a place to sit down.

did i tell u i'm in a band? yeah, and i can do handstands too

Hi. It's Friday again, time for another v.entertaining PURE show, this week featuring the Cramps on every other song. A Crampathon!
When ACC was performing live, I loved doing Cramps songs. The songs never failed to get the crowd going crazy and R's hypnotizing, primitive guitar playing incited them even more. We warmed up for Lux and Ivy one Halloween in San Francisco and after the show we visited them at the Phoenix with HT. No drugs, no alcohol, no cigarettes, but plenty of vegan snacks and chips and stuff like that and a container of brown rice. And very quiet. Apparently we were the only ones to be invited. HT stole a used Q-tip out of their bathroom trash;it had been used to apply sparkly green eye-shadow.
No tours or shows or anything...2busy trying to stay upright.

But i guess i must have.
A few minutes ago i accidentally rode my bike over a little snake on the bike path.
And speaking of little, where's Prince these days anyway?

Hello. Have u ever smelled the little green thing on top of a tomato? Mmmmmm. I love that smell. I know, i know, that's what SHE said.

tomorrow is kevin teare's birthday

Hi Kevin, I'm sending her to help u celebrate.  Love ya Bro!
It's another freezing cold windy and foggy day. I aint had me no summer this year.
And, of course, still no tour or shows or anything...2busy trying to keep warm.
Oops. Just received notification from a devoted reader that this link is broken. What u should have seen is a bunch of drunk kids lighting their friend's hair on fire and standing around him warming their hands on the flames.

Hi. I know this is silly, but i like it.   The guy reminds me of the brilliant Neo. Here's a dapper Neo with his #1.
And speaking of silly, R caught me the other night watching the Dancing Rabbis on a Chabad telethon. I was trying to catch the appearance of special guest Tom Arnold, but got voted down.  Fine.
I have a weird fascination with Tom. All those strange hand movements and tongue-biting and lip-licking and twitching and sweating and red blotches.
No tour or shows or anything...2busy chanting WE MUST WE MUST WE MUST BUILD UP OUR BUST.  (Readers, this was an actual chant that accompanied an exercise in ACC's hi-skool gym class.)

Still no tour or shows or anything....2busy on the table, Mabel.

here's tami

Yesterday i told u about Tami Lynn singing Wings Upon Your Horns.  In that post i had a typo, "Horn" instead of "Horns", and just now oops i typed Wong Upon Your Horns. Anyway, here's Tami.  Sorry to furnish only a sample...HT sent us the entire song but the editors here couldnt get the full version of the mp3 to copy.
And how YOU doin'?

horns/horn

Heard a great song, Wings Upon Your Horns, sung by Tami Lynn on WPKN this morning (the PURE show).  Check the credits on the back of the LP.  Nice.  Oops, just noticed that i had typed Wings Upon Your Horn, which i guess would be a whole different thing.
Loretta Lynn wrote the song and there r lots of versions of her performing it but i was hoping for a sizzling youtube featuring Tami.  
Well, still no tour or shows or anything...2busy being hungry like the u know what.

lit up

Hey people, what about the light and shadows these last few days? Nice, huh? What's that saying, "stick it where the sun dont shine?" Someone sent me a photo i wanted to use to illustrate the saying, but i cant get it to work. Well, still no tour or shows or anything...2busy spreading joy wherever i go.

do it again

Hi. Just spent way2long looking (22 pages of youtubes) for a cool cover of Foggy Notion 4u that maybe u havent heard yet, but no. The ukelele version seemed promising until i played it, and Psychic TV's version had a kick-ass rhythm guitar but i didnt think u'd wanna sit thru the whole take so ixnay on that one too.
Anyway, this is the fog that's been greeting us in the mornings lately.  Nice.
No tour or shows or anything...2busy wondering why my neck is so itchy.

Spent the weekend (not) attending the huge annual Sausalito Arts Festival.

Uh oh!  Watch out for that rattan footstool!

Gonna need some crowd control when the revolution comes.  (I hope.  I mean, chair.)

totally tubular at the low tide club

ACC and R went to a sweeet party the other night at the Low Tide Club in Sausalito, generously hosted by owners Joy and Matt.  Rice and gumbo! Booze! Electrified driftwood!  And, of course, girls in bikinis.
Come check out Joy and Matt's booth at the Headlands Center for the Arts 30th Birthday Party September 15th.
Still no tour or shows or anything...2busy staring into space.

speaker of the house

Drove BFF Rich to Sunnyvale last night for another of his brilliant talks at the Patent Library. Audience members r asked to fill out an evaluation form at the end of the speech and i noticed that on the back of one of the forms someone had doodled "He funny".
And speaking of driving, just came across this picture which reminded me of taking long drives in Michigan in the 70s. Back then u could get these cute lil speed pills called White Crosses and i had eaten a bunch and smoked some hash, and all of a sudden, right in the middle of the highway, up sprung a huge structure, like a giant erector set. (Heh heh, u said "erector") Thank G-d that shits was just an hallucination, and i drove right thru it with nary a scratch.

i want everything (pixelated)

And speaking of wanting everything, when the hell did THIS come out?  I guess it's poss that i knew about it and have 4gotten?   It'd be kind of hard to 4get snazzy red vinyl tho.   Help me out if u can.
No tour or shows or anything...2busy afterthefactor.

Picasa has all these new buttons to push.  I'm liking the pixel button.
There were several EQs in southern Cali 2day, hope my friend George is aight.  Northern Cali hasnt had any for awhile, thank G-d.
Provided the lyrics to Someday You'll Be King to a fan who couldnt quite understand all of them.   That got me thinking about other MX lyrics, and these popped into my head:

Reach for your smokes
You dont smoke anymore.

Anyway, no tour or shows or anything...2busy helping a friend with her Halloween costume.  I know it's early but these things take time.

the A's have it

A and R spent the morning listening to the PURE show on WPKN hosted by Howard Thompson, where this trio of tunes was played: Andrew Eldritch's "Temple of Love" followed by Angel Corpus Christi's "I'm 18" and then on to "Under My Wheels" by Alice Cooper.  I was pretty pleased that the drums on my song didnt sound too shabby, considering that they came right after the ferociousness of Doktor Avalanche.
And speaking of A's, it was just great to hear that the mighty Alan Vega is back in the recording studio.  Alan suffered a serious ailment awhile back so it's good to know he is up and running again.  Whew.
Folks, if u can, check out this highly entertaining show.  (So entertaining this week that, whoa! apparently the host ripped his trousers.  Dont ask.)  Every Friday 1-3 pm EST.  Or listen at another more convenient time, but listen!
Thanks HT!  Your Twizzlers r in the mail.

me today, earlier

Reading Vice and eating okra. I cant help wondering why the young ladies and girls dont wear hats or tie their hair up b4 going aboard.
No tour or shows or anything...2busy taking in the night air.

I wanna rock.

ACC's high-school graduation photo.   Awwwwwww...said everyone.
And speaking of moi, i'm just hearing this really cool mix for the first time. (Thanks HT)
I'd seen it mentioned here and there but hadnt heard it til now. It sounds pretty good i think.
During the recording session for this song Jason didnt like that my accordion had to take a breath in between the in-and-out of the bellows;he wanted the sound to keep going, uninterrupted. He didnt exactly understand how the accordion works (similar to a person taking a breath while singing) and whenever the sound would stop he'd make an impatient annoyed face. I showed him how the bellows worked and why it was impossible to get the sound that was in his head, but i could totally appreciate where he was coming from.  In the studio u just want what u want and u dont want 2 hear that it cant happen.
What a cute picture. I love that the duct-tape label on the tour case is an entire sentence rather than just "Farfisa".
Honk if u love the Spaceman!

who's that i see walkin' in these woods?

Why it's Little Red Riding Hood. Hi everybody. The autumn leaves r drifting by my window and i also saw some fall light, which kind of sneaked up on me this year.

skating on a sunny afternoon

Just got back to the hb after skating up and down Coloma Street as fast as i could for 30 minutes in my now-ancient Sisters of Mercy t-shirt, the one where i've pierced Andrew's face with a safety pin.
And speaking of punk, i love my new blonde hair.

Met this lovely young lady at Cibo in Sausalito. It was a hot day and all the tourists were walking around town eating ice cream cones. And speaking of ice cream cones, what the shits is this?
